Man revived after going overboard, Coast Guard says

19-year-old in serious condition at SMHC in Biddeford

An ambulance took a 19-year-old man to Southern Maine Health Care in Biddeford on Wednesday after he went overboard from a fishing boat and was rescued.

The Coast Guard received a call around 9:20 a.m. from the fishing vessel Kylie Brook reporting a man overboard, said Lt. Connan Ingham of the U.S. Coast Guard in South Portland. The crew rescued him within three minutes.

They administered CPR and he was revived, but he was hypothermic, Ingham said. The 19-year-old male was taken by the fishing boat to Cape Porpoise in Kennebunkport, where an ambulance took him to SMHC.

Linda Webber of Webber's Seafood in Harpswell said the 19-year-old was lobsterman Devin Pesce, who works on the boat belonging to his father, Richard "Dan" Pesce. They have kept their boat at the Webber's wharf.

Dan Pesce revived his son, Webber said.

Devin Pesce was listed in serious condition at SMHC on Wednesday night.

He went overboard about 13 nautical miles east of Cape Porpoise, Connan said.
